Treatment: Filming Coursework - The Dark

For our coursework we had to film a 2 minute opening sequence of a movie. With my partner Max, we chose to make a horror/ thriller film called 'The Dark' which is loosely based on the short American novel that begins with a house being broken into whilst a girl is babysitting.

Our first scenes show her going to the house to babysit but it set in and eerie manner. After she has checked the baby and is then watching TV, these loud noises start to occur, she ignores them at first but then as they become louder she begins to panic. After ensuring her safety by locking a few of the doors, she climbs the stairs again to check the baby. However this time the baby is missing.

We have decided to make a brief plan as to what would happen later on in our film if we were to continue and produce the whole thing. After she does not see the baby where it was before she starts to panic but chooses to ignore it. Later when checking the third time the baby is replaced and all is fine. However strange unexplainable things happen throughout this girl’s life, similar to this, which end in twisted ending that will explain all.
